TACCIA Tanto Shirasaya LE (Wood) Tanto is a traditional Japanese short sword used by samurai as a self-defense, close-combat weapon. As Japanese swords evolved, the tanto grew to become a charm for protection against evil and misfortune. In ancient Japanese Samurai culture, the Tanto blade was often housed in both a ceremonial and a protectant housing. The Shirasaya wooden scabbard, made of Magnolia wood, was the actual housing used to store and treat the metal of the blade, protecting it from moisture, and thus corrosion, due to the lacquer and chemicals in its decrotaive mount. The Taccia Tanto Shirasaya LE is made of Magnolia wood, and is hand crafted with a clear lacquer, providing for a protective outer coating onto its distinctive barrel design. Each barrel cap is embellished with a mekugi mark- similar to actual katana sword pin designations. Tanto Shirasaya LE pens feature an ultra-unique metal neck sleeve- that can be easily screwed onto each barrel grip section- designed as add-on part for the optional use and desired comfort level of each writer. This collection is limited to 25 pieces worldwide, features a 14K gold Japanese nib and is delivered with a pen stand.

The Tanto Limited Edition pays homage to the Japanese samurai, who served men of royalty and nobility in historical Japanese culture. A *tanto* is a traditional Japanese short sword, used mainly as protection for self-defense and close-quarters combat. As Japanese swords evolved, the tanto grew to become a charm for protection against evil and misfortune. The Tanto Limited Edition builds on this reputation, physically embodying the elements of a traditional tanto sword with a hand-polished ebonite barrel, coated with fine Japanese Urushi lacquer. The method of Hirame-ji Urushi, used in this instrument, is an extremely deliberate and detailed technique. Gold, silver, or other materials such as sea shells are ground into powder form, sprinkled onto a surface, sealed with Urushi lacquer, and hand-polished. This procedure is repeated numerous times by Japanese craftsmen to bring depth and clarity to each barrel. Each individual barrel requires many hours of individual attention. Among the many symbols of nature and life, two of the most important and celebrated in human culture are the elements of Water and Wood. Guided by these celebrated symbols, Taccia*s Japanese craftsmen created deepwater indigo and earthy auburn designs, and breathed life into each pen with a shimmering coat of Hirame-ji. Each TACCIA Tanto Hirame-ji is completed with a calfskin leather-wrapped cap and sterling silver *Manuki* pin. Each Limited Edition fountain pen comes with a Japanese 14-karat, two-tone gold nib, and includes a presentation stand worthy of its Tanto legacy. Available in Water or Wood, the Tanto Hirame-ji is limited to 30 pieces in each finish worldwide.

Throughout history, Jade has been viewed as a symbol of nobility, beauty, wealth, and good fortune. With records showing the prized ceremonial stone mined as far back as 6000 B.C., premium-grade Jade is now valued higher than gold and platinum, priced at over $3,000 per ounce!

Taccia is renowned for its attention to quality, craftsmanship and unique, collectible designs. The Emperor Maki-e Limited Edition Fountain Pen, an incredible example of Taccia’s expertise in precious metalwork and traditional Maki-e lacquering. The Emperor Maki-e is crafted using the traditional Japanese technique of Nashiji Togidashi Maki-e. Gold powder is precisely dusted onto the raw ebonite body, sealed with coats of hand-brushed natural Urushi lacquer, and hand-buffed with specially treated charcoal so the gold flakes gleam through the hardened coat. The Emperor body takes many days of intricate and painstaking work to create.

Sterling silver bands plated in rhodium are symbolically cast in the form of dragon wings, embracing the cap and end. The heart of the pen is the solid Imperial Jade gemstone set into the sterling silver band. Each Jade piece is unique and hand-cut, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. No two are alike!

Taccia’s first-ever limited edition pen – the Hidden Treasures collection. Hand-carved and inlaid Raden (abalone) and hand-dusted Bokashi-Maki gold powder are painstakingly set into the barrel by a master Maki-e artist, enrobing the ebonite body in an ebb and flow pattern. A gorgeous, blue abalone medallion is hand-inlaid on the crown to complement the matte ebonite cap and natural Urushi-finished barrel. Double bands with a Greek key pattern and the large, curved clip are plated in precious rhodium. The final result is magical, conjuring images of Hidden Treasures under the seas, with undulating patterns of blue, green and pink over glimmering dark black and gold waters. The fountain pen is enhanced by a beautiful 18K white gold nib. Taccia has crafted an amazing work of art, a cherished writing instrument you’ll be proud to carry in your pocket or your hand for decades to come. The Hidden Treasures collection will be produced in a limited, numbered quantity of only 40 fountain pens. Don’t miss your chance to own these spectacular, one-of-kind writing instruments!
